HUGHES : INGLEBOROUGH. 
The section along the east side of Ribblesdale (Fig. 8) is much 
obscured by moraines and alluvium. I have, however, filled 
it in by inference from the strike of the beds, and the direction 
of the faults in the closely adjoining area, and have carried it 
further to the north and to the south than was necessary for my 
present purpose, as such suggestions may save the time of those 
who in the future may work out more fully the geological history 
of this most interesting valley. It will be convenient to start 
from some easily found point, and I will suppose that we are 
looking north from Stainforth Bridge ; Great Stainforth is on 
the right ; and Little Stainforth on the left ; Dog Hill Brow 
runs along what is the left bank of the river ; while, further on. 
Little Wood follows the right bank. The rocks are Carboniferous, 
hdng horizontally. Crushed rock and conflicting dips indicate 
a small broken fold or fault, with a downthrow on the north, near 
the north end of Dog Hill Brow. The section here passes to the 
other side of the river south of Low Field Barn, and crosses the 
line of fault, which throws the Mountain Limestone down on the 
south- against Silurian rocks which appear to belong to the Aust- 
wick Grits and Flags, and these near Bargh House pass under the 
Horton Flags, which are quarried about a quarter of a mile east of 
Bargh Hill. The flags in turn pass under A, b, 4, the Studfold 
Sandstone, which is well seen at several places in Long Lane, 
especially near the guide post where Long Lane joins Moor Head 
Lane. The flags turn up again about the south end of Studfold 
Lane pasture, and are quarried at Studfold. The Austwick 
Grits and Flags succeed in descending order to the north, and 
near Stanaber Barn alternations of flags and roughly cleaved 
sandy mudstone and sandstone belonging to this series are seen 
in ice-worn bosses here and there. Flags, probably in the lower 
part of the series, are exposed along the road north-west of Dove 
Cote, and extend in gentle undulations west of Beckdale Barn 
and north-west of Redding Barn. Flags are quarried in Hard- 
lands Plantation, north of which, and to the south-west as far as 
Hardlands Barn, there is a tough sandstone, which appears to 
come out from under the flags in the Plantation. Beyond this the 
section is much obscured by drift and alluvium, but before we 
reach Douk Gill we see the Mountain Limestone creeping south
